I could see Riley wanting to get younger and possibly consider a trade for Butler. Yeah he's old but still has a few years left. Id couple Simons and some for him.
OKC feels like the early KD/Westbrook Thunder. You know they’re going to be REALLY good in a short period of time. They got Chet coming next year and picks to trade for someone impactful as well.
Why would you compare two teams loaded with talent and expected to go far this year with our Blazers? Curious about this?
Obviously.
Warriors have BEEN in front of us for awhile.
Memorial Day Miracle was Sean Elliott making the shot for Spurs in 1999 WCF. Had nothing to do with Kobe.
I know... obviously, I'm a Blazers fan. The ESPN broadcast crew was waxing on about special moments in the Alamo Dome because I guess the Spurs were doing their last game there even though they stopped playing there a while ago (it was also the NBA game with the highest ever attendance). Anyway as the broadcasters talked about the greatest moments in Alamo Dome history they said the greatest was the Memorial Day Miracle... which is one of my least favorite moments in NBA history. Then they decided it would be fun to talk about how that iteration of our team had a few heartbreaks most notably the shot that Kobe hit late in the fourth quarter of game seven of the 2000 WCF that put us away, after we squandered our thirteen point lead we had going into the fourth quarter. I just hated that the broadcast somehow turned to two of our worst moments, one of which had nothing to do with either of the two teams that were playing in the game being broadcast.
Also, note to self: don't hire Vlade Divac as GM.
If Riley and Spoelstra were willing to do it, then I know it would be wrong for us.
